With social media at our fingertips, it is easy to get swallowed up by the stories we tell ourselves. It's easy to think that everyone has it all together - except for you. In "When Winning Gold Wasn't Enough," Samantha candidly shares her Ten Truths in Rising that will help you challenge your limiting beliefs, edit the stories you tell yourself, redefine success and failure, and learn to embrace self-compassion and love – constructs that will build the foundation for resiliency in any arena.

In this powerful and honest presentation, Samantha takes us with her to the top of the podium and down into the rubble of life without sport - just a mere two months after winning gold. She's sifted through the rubble many times as she's successfully battled through an eating disorder, injury, depression, the transition to life without sport and PTSD - rising with strength and clarity every time. She talks candidly about her struggle with perfectionism and comparison –the underlying current of her struggles - and how letting go of both ultimately led her to experience deeper joy and fulfillment WHILE living her dream.
